AVAX
Choose the AVAX asset and Polygon network you currently hold.
Check the estimated output, fees, timing, and Avalanche destination network.
Open the live route and follow the exact deposit instructions.
Use the receipt and status page until the destination funds arrive.
Avalanche is classified as a native asset for this route. AVAX uses a network-specific contract asset on Polygon. The recorded Polygon representation uses 18 decimal places. On Avalanche C-Chain, native AVAX funds both the transfer value and gas; on another chain, an AVAX-labelled contract behaves as a token input instead.
Polygon and Avalanche can use the same 0x address syntax, but they are separate networks with different chain identifiers, gas balances, token contracts, and transaction histories.
Avalanche is classified as a native asset for this route. AVAX uses a native asset on Avalanche. The recorded Avalanche representation uses 18 decimal places. Native Avalanche receipt belongs on C-Chain and can fund later gas; an AVAX token on another chain remains a contract balance.
Avalanche is a L1 EVM network in the Avalanche ecosystem. AVAX pays destination-side network gas on Avalanche. EVM 0x account address An Avalanche destination must be a C-Chain-compatible account; native AVAX can fund later C-Chain gas, while token receipt uses the quoted C-Chain contract.
Polygon is a L1 EVM network in the Polygon ecosystem. POL pays source-side network gas on Polygon. EVM 0x account address A Polygon PoS source uses its validator/checkpoint system and POL gas; its token contracts and checkpoints are separate from Ethereum L1.
Route-specific mistakes include sending on a network other than Polygon; using a destination that is not valid for Avalanche; running out of POL before the source transaction is submitted. A Polygon PoS source uses its validator/checkpoint system and POL gas; its token contracts and checkpoints are separate from Ethereum L1. On Avalanche C-Chain, native AVAX funds both the transfer value and gas; on another chain, an AVAX-labelled contract behaves as a token input instead. An Avalanche destination must be a C-Chain-compatible account; native AVAX can fund later C-Chain gas, while token receipt uses the quoted C-Chain contract. Native Avalanche receipt belongs on C-Chain and can fund later gas; an AVAX token on another chain remains a contract balance.
Polygon wallet, token-transfer, contract, log, and gas activity remain public, and Avalanche wallet, token-transfer, contract, log, and gas activity remain public. For this AVAX on Polygon to AVAX on Avalanche path, Private Route is intended to reduce the direct visible relationship between activity around the source-side EVM 0x account address and destination-side EVM 0x account address; it does not hide either chain's public records.
AVAX is a contract representation on Polygon with 18 decimals at 0x2C89bbc92BD86F8075d1DEcc58C7F4E0107f286b. POL, not AVAX, pays gas unless both symbols are the same. A Polygon PoS source uses its validator/checkpoint system and POL gas; its token contracts and checkpoints are separate from Ethereum L1. On Avalanche C-Chain, native AVAX funds both the transfer value and gas; on another chain, an AVAX-labelled contract behaves as a token input instead.
AVAX is listed as the native representation on Avalanche; AVAX is used for network gas. An Avalanche destination must be a C-Chain-compatible account; native AVAX can fund later C-Chain gas, while token receipt uses the quoted C-Chain contract. Native Avalanche receipt belongs on C-Chain and can fund later gas; an AVAX token on another chain remains a contract balance.
No. This bridge keeps the asset intent while moving between a AVAX contract token and a native AVAX. Match the source and output details in the live quote.
A Polygon PoS source uses its validator/checkpoint system and POL gas; its token contracts and checkpoints are separate from Ethereum L1. An Avalanche destination must be a C-Chain-compatible account; native AVAX can fund later C-Chain gas, while token receipt uses the quoted C-Chain contract. The bridge output does not automatically fund every later gas need.
EVM 0x account address Do not substitute a Polygon address merely because a wallet displays both networks.
Sending on a network other than Polygon, selecting a representation not listed by the quote, or entering an address invalid for Avalanche can prevent normal detection or receipt.
Requirements are checked for the live AVAX Polygon to Avalanche quote. Verification requirements can depend on the provider, amount, jurisdiction, and current route. Sasquatch does not verify this route as universally no-KYC; check the live flow before continuing.
